Multiple Handgun/Semi-Auto Rifle Transaction approval

Learn how Bravo flags transactions involving multiple handguns or semi-automatic rifles for approval without using the E4473 product, helping ensure compliance with ATF guidelines.

For users without the e4473 product, a General Exception has been implemented when a customer purchases more than one firearm within a 5-day period (including weekends). Employees will now need to obtain approval from their manager to confirm that a 3310.4 form was filed, or will be filed shortly.

Security Bit

There is a new security bit to allow your employees to approve directly over this new General Exception if you allow.

It is located here:
Main Menu > Transactions > Point of Sale > Multiple Handgun/Semi-Auto Rifle transaction

Allowed - the employee can approve over the exception themselves

Manager Approval - the employee will need a manager to approve the sale or cancel the sale if the customer wishes to not have the 3310.4 filed.

 

Making the Sale

In addition to the existing prompt for filing the 3310.4 form (read more about that HERE once you are about to make the sale by saving the transaction, you will get a General Exception requesting approval for the sale of the firearm since there has been more than one firearm sale in a 5 day period.

 

Once approved the sale will be completed there will be a record kept of this under the General Exception report. You can filter the report by selecting General Security Exception under the Exception Types:

 

And from this report you can see what transaction it happened in, what date/time, who prompted the approval and which employee approved it.

 

Finding which gun was previously sold

One way to find which gun previously sold would be to go to the Reports section and bring up the ATF A & D Book. First you must know the date that the item sold which prompted the 3310.4 exception. Put that date for the last Disposed Date between, then put the first date at 5 days prior. So here we sold the gun on 10/5, so that will be my end date, and 9/30 will be my start date

 

When that report runs, then you can filter right in the report for your customer's name. To do this, click on the Navigation Pane at the top of the report, or you can do the CTRL+F keybind command. You will now see the Navigation section on the left of the report.

 

With this now up, you can search by the customer's name, and doing so will highlight every instance of this name coming up. It can take a moment to bring up the search results. Once it does, you can click on the Search Results on the left hand side to see which Record you need to pull for the 3310.4 form. Make sure to look at only the SOLD dispositions, as redemptions of loans can be in this report but these do not prompt the 3310.4 form.

 

You can also do this by going into INVENTORY and searching that way.

  • STEP 1: Do an ad hoc to find the most recent firearm transactions for the report.

NOTE: you will need to know your own dates and times along with customer information to properly fill out the Ad Hoc, but the Criteria shown in the screenshot is what fits best to show only this data.

  • STEP 2: Look at each item from the result and copy/paste the information from Bravo to the 3310.4 form.
  • STEP 3: Once the form is filled out with the necessary information it will need to be sent. On the Instructions: Part 7 of the link, it has how to send it.
